I am reading through the accounts in the New
Testament of the Bible of the birth of Jesus and I came across this line in the
first chapter of Luke.And I found this
line a little interesting.Now I do know
the story but I still find this fact interesting. Now Zechariah is an older priest and an angel
comes to him and said this statement.Of
course I probably would be afraid if I saw an angel but excited that God had
heard my prayer and was going to answer it.It seems that Zechariah had been praying since he was young for a child
and now the angel says it is going to happen and he is afraid. I know it was something he really wanted
but with it not happening and he and his wife getting older he may have been
praying just because he had always done it.He had gotten to the place that he was sure that…

Here is the context of
this question.It is found in Matthew
2:1-4 (NIrV).It says, “After Jesus’
birth, Wise Men from the east came to Jerusalem. They asked, ‘Where is the
child who has been born to be king of the Jews? When we were in the east, we
saw his star. Now we have come to worship him.’” These guys were from a
different country and through their search they had read that a child was going
to be born who was going to make a major difference.Through an unbelievable experience they had found
out that it was now happening so they had come to find him.They had made it this far but they still
didn’t know where he was so they came to King Herold to ask him.But he was the wrong person to ask. Where do you go for
answers to your important questions?Do
you just sit down in a quiet place and think on yo…

Have you ever wondered
about something and you didn’t know where to turn to find the answer?I had heard someone say that going to college
is not to know all the answers but where to find them.So because of that fact I thought I would
take a few days leading up to Christmas and read a book that tells about the
person of Christmas.And that person is
Jesus Christ and the book is the first book in the New Testament of the
Bible.And it is written by a man who personally
knew and followed Jesus.His name was
Matthew. Now of the first four books on the life of Christ in the New Testament two of them tell of His birth but this thought comes from the book by Matthew in chapter 1 and verse 18. It is a very interesting and in some ways
unbelievable story.If you have never
read the story and you would lik…
